Ronda
Rousey walked away from UFC
168 with an additional $150,000 in post-fight bonus money, as
the women’s bantamweight champion pocketed both “Fight of the
Night” and “Submission of the Night” honors.

Rousey shared the fight bonus with vanquished opponent Miesha Tate,
who earned $75,000 for her efforts in defeat. Meanwhile,
heavyweight prospect Travis
Browne was awarded $75,000 for his “Knockout of the
Night”-winning performance against ex-champion Josh
Barnett.

UFC 168 took place Saturday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las
Vegas and saw Chris
Weidman successfully defend his middleweight title against
former longtime champion Anderson
Silva in the evening’s headlining pay-per-view rematch.

Rousey was also victorious in her return bout, though Tate became
the first woman to force “Rowdy” out of round one. Rousey began to
assert her grappling dominance to close out round two, however, and
then secured her favorite technique in the third period, forcing
Tate to tap out to an armbar just 58 seconds into the period.

Just prior, Browne wasted no time in dispatching Barnett, catching
the Pride Fighting Championships veteran with a hard knee as he
shot for a takedown and then relieving “The Warmaster” of his
consciousness with a series of violent elbows to the temple,
forcing referee Yves Lavigne to wave off the bout at the one-minute
mark.
